However Gail (Helen Worth) and Sarah (Tina O'Brien) soon return home from a shopping trip, causing Shona to hide upstairs - where she overhears more than she bargained for.

The pair begin to discuss David's guilt over Anna's injuries - referring to the fact he paid her £19,000 as compensation for her severe burns - and begin to speculate whether people will become suspicious of him.

Discovery: The pair begin to discuss David's guilt over Anna's injuries, and reveal his plan to kill Clayton - to Shona's shock

Back in November, David had plotted to kill Clayton Higgs by blowing up his prison van and him inside, as an act of revenge for murdering his wife Kylie.

However his plan had soon gone very wrong when he crashed en route, causing his car to explode into a ball of flames and consume Anna, who was walking by.

Upon hearing the explosive information, Shona decides to uncover her presence by flushing the toilet upstairs - to the alarm of Gail and Sarah.

Asking whether she had heard what the pair were discussing, she answered coldly: 'Yes. I heard every word.'

Gail and Sarah go on to beg the brunette not to spread his plan, and insisted that David had never meant to hurt anyone - but it is not clear whether Shona agrees.

Shona has made her interest in David and Kylie known since she first arrived on the scene at Christmas - first stealing his wallet in a bar, before visiting Kylie's grave under the cover of darkness.

Fans had speculated whether Shona was to be David's new romantic interest on the show, after Jack P. Shepherd, who plays the grief-stricken character, hinted he may re-marry.

Speaking to the Radio Times earlier this year, he said: 'Whenever I say that David could go off with other people, journalists have always said that he has to be sad forever because what happened with Kyle was so traumatic.

'But things do move quickly in soap. Before you know it, he'll be shacked up with somebody else or getting married again.

'It's one of the reasons I like playing the character so much.'
